You are totally misunderstanding goals of std.logger - people as
_expected_ to roll their own Loggers. std.logger is here only to
provide standard API for those to integrate with each other and
few trivial common implementation as examples. Rest is dub
business.
And no, magic identification of format string is neither language
KISS nor interface KISS.
